This dinner series takes al fresco to new heights. Staged under a 100-year-old oak tree surrounded by rows of lush grape vines, Animalón is a destination pop-up event that's not to be missed.

Taking place at celebrity chef Javier Plascencia's Finca Altozano property in Baja California's Valley de Guadalupe, there are two ways to dine at this event. Choose from the eight course fixed dinner ($75) with optional wine pairings ($35), or browse the a la carte plates that range from $10-35 each.

“The Animalón experience is the definition of my cuisine," states chef Plascencia on the pop-up dinner's website. "Using only Baja ingredients, my mission is to pay homage to local producers, and the lifestyle of Baja."
